Today on Boing Boing tv: Austrian tech-art-pranksters Monochrom introduce us to Scott Blake, renowned bar code artist. We then observe Scott wandering the streets of Vienna collecting bar codes to properly memorialize the late Austrian pop star, Falco. He's a very big deal over there.

Falco a big deal over there? For heaven's sake he only has a staircase. . .thanks for bringing more recognition to this most singular of artists. Amadeus indeed.

that's his project?? he just scans random barcodes and says "for falco"? then why don't you guys make a documentary about the girl at the cash register at my local supermarket? sometimes she says weird stuff too. but i guess she lacks the required sense of self importance...

What? I don't understand a single part of this video. Bar codes for Falco? How about RFID for UB40? This is just silly.

Hey! Great idea! I'm gonna do one for Edie Falco and then Tav Falco but sorry, I refuse to do one for David Berkowitz (whose birth name was Falco)
